Low Acid Espresso Tasting Set

3 bags of espresso beans each of 500g

A well-prepared espresso is a fine thing. Most people prefer a blend that scores with low acidity. But not all varieties are low in acidity. Even the finest and most expensive beans can have high acidity. This is because they really bring out the fruity and floral notes, and this is quite intentional. This gives filter coffee, in particular, a fullness of aroma and a balance that tickles the palate.

Whether a coffee has low acidity depends, by the way, much more on the type of roast than on the type of coffee bean. When roasted, the acidity increases first, which is why mild roast varieties have a higher acidity. However, if the roasting process is longer, the coffee loses acidity, up to 50% of the original content. Thus, the roaster himself can determine the level of acidity.

Conclusion: The roasting process is decisive for the acid content of the coffee bean.

The darker the beans are roasted, the less acid they contain!

For all coffee lovers who do not like pronounced acidity in the cup, we now have the ideal set.

These are three espresso varieties with very little acidity. Dark, strong but not at all bitter.

Passalacqua Gold Vulcan Espresso

Blend: 70% Arabica / 30% Robusta

Gold Vulcan is a full-bodied espresso coffee consisting of 5 bean varieties. Thanks to the typical dark roast of southern Italy, it has very little acidity and much more volume and flavour. In the cup, this powerful espresso is adorned by a lush crema. Precisely for this reason, Gold Vulcan can also be used very well as a base for cappuccino or latte macchiato.

Filicori Zecchini Espresso Chicchi

Filicori Zecchini's Espresso Chicchi is a cleverly composed blend of the best green coffees that Filicori's suppliers have to offer.
Filicori Chicchi is the result of a particularly long, gentle and strictly separate roasting process. In this way, the individual requirements of each green coffee are met, and in the end only the very best taste remains, without any acidity. Thanks to this roasting process, the Chicchi has a wonderfully soft and chocolaty aroma. Until the last sip and even afterwards, an incomparably aromatic taste unfolds on the palate.
A coffee that meets every taste and is also ideal for the fully automatic machine. And what's more, the packaging of the Espresso Chicci is completely aluminium-free.

Passalacqua Black Vulcan Espresso

Blend: 30% Arabica / 70% Robusta

Black Vulcan Espresso has a very strong and intense flavour and, like all Passalacqua varieties, is dark roasted. Thanks to the high proportion of Robusta beans (70%), Passalacqua Black Vulcan has a full body and an incredibly dense and thick crema. The acidity is almost non-existent. It is therefore ideal as an espresso and as a base for all latte variants.
